In NYC for the first time ever...and I 110% hate it. Maybe some of the boroughs are better, but manhattan is so gross and crowded. Why on earth do people like this place?

Wait so let me get this straight. You didn't like the crowds at the train station/airport so you don't like the entirety of NYC? Literally nobody likes the crowds in those places. Do you think New Yorkers just like hanging out in Penn Station?? 😂😂 but agreed with @S1 on rent 💸

I currently live in Chicago and love that it's humble and affordable but still vibrant.

But i used to live in NY and it's incredible in so many ways. It's chic, cultured, and honest. Once you figure out how to navigate the city it's ultra convenience at your fingertips. For example if you get hangry, much easier to solve in NY than anywhere else - delivery is fast and a million places open 24 hours

Also, some things are extremely affordable (e.g., manicures)!

Op, you sound like a staffer with relatively low experience in the world. Do yourself and us a favor by having a more open mind. Experience life without comparing it to some idea in your head of how it aught to be, you will realize that you had no clue what life is like.

@E2, Chicago's winter is only like 3 months and isn't even that much colder than NYC. Also the rest of the year is so beautiful with the lake. And NYC people are always soooooo obsessed with NYC.

@D4, what in this shows a lack of empathy? I literally asked why people like this smelly crowded city. Not my fault that apparently most NYC people are jerks who decided to post snarky retorts instead of gush about the good things about NYC. Also, NYC is allowed to get some flack since it is one of the most loved cities. Not like I'm making fun of Detroit here...
